Canandaigua, N.Y.

The best elected officials fight for what they believe. This is why I support the reelection of Karen White for City Council, Ward 3. Four years ago, as she began her retirement after 35 years of teaching at Canandaigua Schools, she committed to running for City Council in a bid to make the city — where she raised a family — better than she left it.

Mrs. White is no stranger to confrontation, grappling with difficult issues like the city budget, taxes and the lakeshore redevelopment. At each turn, Mrs. White has weighed the best interests of Ward 3 and the City of Canandaigua. This is why I support Karen White.

Voting to keep taxes low, to spend government funds effectively and efficiently and to proceed thoughtfully with the proposed lakefront projects, I believe that Mrs. White has advocated successfully on behalf of our ward, our community and our city.

Dedicated to redeveloping Telyea Park, refurbishing abandoned buildings throughout our ward, and responding to resident issues, Ward 3 has a fighter in office, one who believes in the power of good people effecting positive change. And that is why I wholeheartedly support Karen White for City Council.
